Maybe it's my surname, but it just looks like a population map.

For common surnames, yes. Mine is quite rare, and while there are naturally a few hits in Berlin, most are concentrated in Southwest Germany, specifically Stuttgart. But you're right that it would be interesting to see the data normalized to population.
My name is so rare, in my own country, I only get two small spots.

And I don't live (or haven't lived) in any of them.
